DAUBER FOR HOLDING AND APPLYING PASTE OR LIQUID SUBSTANCES. h

` SPECIFICATION' forming part of Letters Patent N o. 693,305, datedFebruary 11,1902.

Applicatimifiled June 7, 1901. Serial No. 63,610. (No model.) l I dauberfor applying paste and liquid sub stances to a surface-as, for instance,in applying blacking to bootsl and shoes-the dauber itself to fulfil theoffice of the ordinary dauber and of the box containing the blacking orliquid substance or paste which is to be applied to theV boot or shoe.

The object of the invention is again to provide a dauber for the purposehereinbefore set forth which shall be convenient to handleA and whichshall also preserve the paste or liquid in a moist state and in a neatand cleanly condition.

The invention consists in a dauber for holding and applying paste andliquid substances, consisting of a sheet-metal holder having a iat base,a flange projecting from one face of said base, and a moisture-absorbingpad fast to and projecting from the opposite face of said base, all soconstructed that the pad shall be entirely free from any surrounding orinclosing metal or other substance, and thus be adapted to the purposehereinbefore set forth--viz., of applying paste and liquid substances toother articles, such as as boots and shoesfand, further, shall be socon# structed as to be capable of being easily attached to or detachedfrom lthe [iat base of the holder and which can be entirely used up orWorn out without any portion of the holder interfering with the use forwhich the article is intended.

The invention further consists in a dauber for holding and applyingpaste and liquid substances substantially as hereinbefore set forth, incombination withacover detachably attached to said holder and inclosingsaid pad.

The invention, moreover, consists in the combination and arrangements ofparts set forth in the following specification and particularly pointedout in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a dauberconstructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsection taken on line 2 2 ofFig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of thedanber with the pad-cover removed. Fig. 4. is an underneath plan oftheholder detached. Fig.` 5 is a section taken on line5 5 of Fig. 4.

Like numerals refer to like parts throughout theseveral views of thedrawings.

In the drawings, 8 is a holderformed of a piece of sheet metal struckupV with a base 9, having a flange 10 integral therewith and consistin gof a straightcylindrical'portion 11 and semicircular rim l2,V saidcylindrical portion l1 being joined to the base 9 by a conical portion13 and to the semicircular rim 12 by another1 conical portion 14.

To the base 9 is fastened a pad 15, formed of fibrous material, such asfelt, and thoroughly saturated with the paste or liquid substanceswhich'it is desired to use. The pad 15 projects ydownwardly beyond thesurface to which it is attached-viz., the 'base l9, as shown in Figs. 2and 3.

The holder 8 is rst formed as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the straightcylindrical portion 16, Fig. 5, being cut out'at 17 toallowthe handle 18to beinserted and the said portion 16 turned over to form thesemicir'cular rim l2, thus holding the handle 18 firmly fastened to theholder 8. The cylindrical cap 19, formed of sheet metal consists of abase 2O and a flange 21 integral therewith, said flange 21 formed to fitthe exterior of the straight cylindrical portion 1l of the holder 8.Said cylindrical portion 11 is of a larger diameter than the diameter ofthe pad 15, and the conical portion 13 kserves to guide lthe cap to thecylindrical portion when the said cap is be ing placed upon the holder,the conical pori tion 14. serving as a stop for the cap.

It will be seen by reference to Fig. 2 that the cap when detaohablyattached to the holder 8 by placing the sameupon the cylindricalportionA 11, as shown, does not come in contact with the pad either uponthe interior face of the flange 21 or of the base 20, so that the pasteor liquid substance in said pad does not soil the cap.

In using ,my improved dauber the cap 19 is rst removed from the holderand said pad is then rubbed upon the shoe in t-he case of a pad adaptedforv that purpose, and a por 'ICO tion of the dressing or blacking withwhich the pad is saturated is thus applied to the leather of the shoe.After using the cap is returned to its position upon the holder, asshown in Fig. 2. 'It will thus be seen that my improved dauber is alwaysin readiness for use and is applied directly to the shoe without anyinconvenience and uncleanliness attending the use of a dauber andblackingbox, as heretofore employed. As the pad projects downwardly fromthe base 9, to which it is attached, beyond any encircling surface, theentire thickness of said pad may be used without the holder coming intocontact with the leather of the shoe or other surface to which the pastemay be applied.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to securehy Letters Patent, is-

l. A dauber for holding and applying paste and liquid substancescomprising -a sheetmetal holder having a flat base, a flange projectingfrom one face of said base, formed with a straight cylindrical portionof a diameter larger than that of said base, a semicircular rim on saidange, a pad fast to the opposite face of said base, and a handlepartially encircled and held by said semicircular lllll.

2. A dauber for holding and applying paste and liquid substancescomprising a cylindrical sheet-metal holder having a fiat base, a flangeprojecting from one face of said base, formed with a straightcylindrical portion of adiam-M eter larger than the diameter of saidbase, a semicircular rirn on said flange, said cylindrical portion beingjoined to said semicircular rim and to said base by conical portions, apad fast to the opposite face of said base, and a handle partiallyencircled and held by said Semicircular ri in.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specication in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.
